For my Favorites post this week, I thought I would round of some of my favorite winter coats and jackets. It’s January, the coldest month of the year, but it’s also a month where a lot of winter items go on sale! So score yourself a warm winter jacket on sale, or get a head start on your spring favorites!

This week has been a little overwhelming for me and I think an all black outfit just kind of speaks for itself…so I just wanted to share this quote that I found on pinterest today instead of telling you the joys of wearing a pleated leather skirt 🙂

“Breathe, my friend. You are not old, you are young. You are not a mess, you are normal. Extraordinary, perhaps. In the blink of an eye your life will change. And it will continue to change for decades to come. Enjoy it. Embrace it…be grateful for the ride. You are not old. You are young. And faith will get you everywhere. Just you wait.”

This outfit has three of my favorites things…a leather jacket, a statement necklace, and animal print…what could possibly be better? I love the little flare on the bottom of this Copper & Ella dress! I wanted to turn this girly dress into something a little more edgy, so I paired it with motorcycle boots and a leather jacket. I think a leather jacket adds so much character to any outfit!

Also you probably can’t tell because my face looks happy, but it was like 20 degrees outside and windy when we were shooting this! I dressed up as Marilyn Monroe for Halloween, but I think this is the closest I’ve gotten to a Marilyn moment with all that wind!
